Synchronization Manager assists in maintaining data between the local computer and a copy of the data that is replicated on the server. It provides a single location where users can go to synchronize any shared files that are available offline, regardless of the type of file or whether the program used to make the file is available offline. By using Synchronization Manager, you can allow users to control when their offline files are synchronized with files on the network. Synchronizing files when users log on and log off ensures that they are working with the latest information from the network; thus the amount of work disruptions that are caused by saving files is minimized. Synchronization can be initiated manually by the user or can be set to automatically synchronize with the network.
You can also control when user data is synchronized by using Group Policy settings. The Group Policy settings that you can apply range from the ability to automatically synchronize data before a user logs off to disabling the ability of a user to synchronize folders and files.
